Companies today are struggling with the best way to implement IT infrastructure that enable business agility. ZapThink’s SOA Implementation Roadmap poster provides organizations of all sizes and types an at-a-glance view at how to approach implementing SOA in a way that provides return-on-investment (ROI) at each step along the path toward agile IT infrastructure.

Included on this easy-to-read poster are the steps and phases by which companies can move from today’s brittle infrastructures to loosely-coupled, coarse-grained Services. The poster covers concepts in point-to-point Web Services implementations for integration, securing, managing, governing, and adding process layers to these Services, maintaining full-lifecycle SOA quality, implementing intermediaries for loose coupling, enterprise mashups, dynamic documents, and more. The poster shows the big picture for SOA adoption and includes the details on how to actually go about implementing SOA in a logical progression of steps, each resulting in significant ROI.

Professionally designed with enterprise architecture decision makers, technical implementers, and product vendors in mind, the Zapthink SOA Implementation Roadmap appears on the walls of both technical and business people.

I am putting together an SOA Roadmap and Plan for an organisation. How do I define “PROCESS MODEL" in an SOA context? What is a PROCESS in the context of service orientation? The ZapThink SOA Roadmap 3.0 has a graphic of PROCESS MODEL but no accompanying narrative explaining what it is.

Jason - I don't see a link to access/download the pdf. Am I just missing it? Or is the poster no longer available for download?

EMORAKPOR - I run into this all the time when designing and creating systems - the implementation of process doesn't seem to fit in anywhere. So I usually add a "process engine" with some sort of defined workflow feed (XML, raw code, ...) and there it sits alongside domain specific aspects of the design (account manager, whatever) and stands out like a sore thumb.
